What Proper Tree Trimming Actually Does

Your trees look better, but that’s just the beginning. Proper trimming removes the dead weight that could crash into your roof during the next storm. It opens up sight lines from your driveway so you can actually see oncoming traffic.

Healthy trees add real value to your property. Overgrown, neglected trees become liabilities that insurance companies notice and buyers avoid. Regular maintenance keeps your landscape investment working for you instead of against you.

You get peace of mind knowing those heavy branches hanging over your house won’t come down unexpectedly. Your trees stay healthier longer because we remove diseased or damaged wood before it spreads. The whole property looks intentional and well-maintained.

Long Island Best Tree Service has been handling tree care across Nassau County for years. We understand how coastal weather affects your trees and which species thrive in our soil conditions.

Our team includes licensed arborists who actually know the difference between pruning for health and hacking for convenience. We carry full insurance because tree work is inherently risky, and we take that responsibility seriously.

Tree Trimming Process

Here's How We Handle Your Trees

We start with a consultation to assess which branches need attention and why. Not every tree needs the same approach, and we explain what we’re seeing before we start cutting.

The actual trimming follows proper arborist techniques. We make clean cuts that heal properly, remove weight from the right places, and shape the tree for long-term health. Our equipment handles the heavy lifting safely, whether we’re dealing with branches near power lines or limbs hanging over your roof.

Cleanup is part of the job, not an extra charge. We chip the branches, remove the debris, and leave your property cleaner than we found it. You get a healthier tree and a tidy yard without having to deal with piles of brush.

Complete Tree Maintenance

What's Included in Professional Tree Trimming

Every job includes a proper assessment of your tree’s health and structure. We identify problem areas, explain what needs attention, and recommend the best approach for your specific situation and budget.

The trimming itself covers crown cleaning to remove dead or diseased branches, crown thinning to reduce weight and improve air circulation, and crown raising to clear walkways, driveways, or structures. We use proper cutting techniques that promote healing and prevent decay.

Complete cleanup and debris removal are standard. We don’t leave you with a mess to handle. Our equipment chips most material on-site, and we haul away anything that can’t be processed. You get professional results without the headache of dealing with brush piles.

How often should trees be trimmed in Long Island?

Most mature trees benefit from professional trimming every 3-5 years, but it depends on the species and growing conditions. Fast-growing trees like maples might need attention more frequently, while slower-growing oaks can go longer between services. Young trees often need more frequent shaping to establish good structure. We also recommend inspection after major storms, since high winds and heavy snow can create immediate hazards that shouldn’t wait for the next scheduled maintenance.

What's the best time of year for tree trimming?

Late fall through early spring is generally ideal for most tree species in our area. Trees are dormant, so trimming causes less stress and you can see the branch structure clearly without leaves in the way. However, emergency situations don’t wait for perfect timing, and we handle hazardous branches year-round. Some species have specific timing requirements – for example, we avoid trimming oaks during certain months to prevent oak wilt disease. The right timing depends on your specific trees and situation.

How much does professional tree trimming cost?

Cost depends on tree size, complexity, and accessibility. A simple trim on a small tree might run a few hundred dollars, while large trees requiring specialized equipment or difficult access can cost significantly more. We provide upfront estimates after seeing your specific situation. Factors that affect pricing include tree height, number of branches being removed, proximity to structures or power lines, and cleanup requirements. Emergency work typically costs more than scheduled maintenance, which is why regular care actually saves money long-term.

Can I trim my own trees to save money?

Small branches within easy reach of the ground are usually fine for homeowners to handle, but anything requiring a ladder or involving large branches should be left to professionals. Tree work is inherently dangerous – falling branches, chainsaw injuries, and falls from height send people to the hospital regularly. Beyond safety, improper cuts can damage or kill trees, potentially costing thousands in removal and replacement. If you’re questioning whether you should tackle it yourself, that’s usually a sign you shouldn’t.

What happens if tree trimming damages my property?

This is why you hire licensed, insured professionals. Our insurance covers property damage that might occur during the work, though our experience and proper techniques make incidents rare. Always verify that any tree service you hire carries current liability insurance and workers’ compensation. Get proof of coverage before work begins. Unlicensed operators might offer lower prices, but you’re taking on significant financial risk if something goes wrong. We understand this responsibility and price accordingly.

Will trimming hurt my trees or make them grow back thicker?

Proper trimming actually improves tree health by removing diseased, damaged, or competing branches. Trees don’t “grow back thicker” from professional pruning – that’s a myth often perpetuated by improper topping cuts that force rapid, weak regrowth. Correct pruning techniques promote strong, healthy growth and better tree structure. However, bad trimming practices like topping or lion’s tailing can seriously damage trees and create long-term problems. This is why technique matters more than just removing branches – proper cuts heal cleanly and maintain the tree’s natural form.
